If there's one thing life has taught me, it's that you should never make plans for Monday. Unexpected things are always around the corner... πŸ˜† #MondayMood
In the past few weeks, I've been reflecting on the current infrastructure behind the BSD Cafe. I'm satisfied with it, and it's stable (all services are accessible via IPv6, etc.), but in the original vision of my project, there were some different choices that I haven't implemented yet to maintain consistency with the available hardware. Therefore, there will be some underlying changes (some already in testing), which I will obviously share both here and on the related wiki page (currently a bit outdated compared to the current setup). You won't see anything "at a glance" (the best technical changes are those that aren't immediately visible), but I believe they will be appreciated. Stay tuned! #BSDCafe #BSDCafeServices #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeAnnouncements
The most ironic thing that happened today: searching for installation instructions for a software. I found various blog posts claiming to contain the instructions, only to open them and see they all say the same thing: "docker compose..." What’s the point of an article like that? I mean: do we need an article suggesting such a simple operation? #IT #Docker #SysAdmin
Yesterday, I was asked to create a Docker server for specific software distributed as a Docker Compose file. I created an Alpine Linux VM, copied the Compose file, and ran it. Everything is working perfectly. This morning, the person who provided the file asked me about the Ubuntu version of the VM. When I replied that it's an Alpine Linux host, they insisted that Alpine Linux doesn't work because "Docker works properly only on Ubuntu." I tried to explain that it doesn't matter, as the Compose file doesn't require any Ubuntu-specific commands (it's just pulling images from Docker Hub), but they are insisting that I need to install Ubuntu or they won't proceed with the operations. I'm so disheartened to see such closed-mindedness. #Docker #Linux #SysAdmin #IT #AlpineLinux #Ubuntu

Sometimes we are like boats on the vast sea, navigating by sight, feeling alone, adrift, aimless. Yet the sun will rise and set, its light guiding us, and the immense sea, so silent, is pregnant and teeming with life. We are alive, we are life. #Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #MeerMittwoch #Sea #Sunset #Water #SeaWednesday image
